Shop Titans News

This update is slated for release next week!


[h2]New Major Artifact[/h2]

Everyone duck for the introduction of the Backfire Hammer! This torrid torpedo-mace packs quite the punch, but also cuts the wielder’s HP by 25% at the start of a battle. It'll also boost your equipped Maces' stats by 100%. You can follow it up with some healing, or simply equip it to those weirdoes who enjoy being hurt.

[h2]Vending Machine Furniture[/h2]

We’re introducing an entirely new furniture item: the Vending Machine! This special type of rack can hold items of your choosing and will slowly sell them over time while you are offline!

The Vending Machine is limited to one per shop, but we may look at increasing this limit in the future. It will cost you 1500 Gems and can then be upgraded similar to other racks (using Gold).


[h2]Event Leaderboard Rewards[/h2]
Event Leaderboard Rewards (trophies, titles, badges) now have a much longer grace period allotted to claim them. Approximately one month after the event’s start. 
Keep in mind that you’ll need to have scored enough personal contribution to complete the event in order to qualify for these leaderboard rewards.

[h2]Mega Packs & Superior Offers[/h2]
We’re trying something new here. Superior Offers and Flashback offer priority has now been inverted. In other words, purchasing a mega pack will make you eligible for the Superior portion of the pack. If the superior pack is purchased, Flashback offers will be shown afterwards.

This is very much us testing the waters, so it may or may not be a permanent change. We’re hoping it works out!

[h2]Multi-Open Grab Bags[/h2]

Guild Coin hoarders rejoice! It is now possible to open 10 Grab Bags at the same time.

[h2]Dragon Invasion & King’s Caprice Stats[/h2]

We followed up on a widely requested feature and reworked the blueprint details screen to include a new tab showcasing the Airship Power for Dragon Invasion and Favor value for King’s Caprice, even if those events aren’t currently active. We also took this opportunity to move over other item stats previously hidden behind a tooltip to this new tab.

• For party preset enjoyers, the quest screen will now remember (between sessions) your last used tab between the Hero list and the Party Preset list.
  
• It is now possible to mass invest in a capped out building.
  
• Aurasongs and Familiars assigned to Guest Champions will stay with those champions until their next visit.
  

• Significantly increased the Worker XP obtained from Dual Wield and Quiver items.
  

The King will return as a Guest Champion starting on March 3rd until March 6th.


[h2]Currency Format Localization[/h2]
The format in which currency displays in the webstore is now localized based on your browser preferences. 

For example, a user in a United States locale will see the USD pricing displayed as $18.99, while a user in a Canada locale would see it displayed as US$18.99. The format will differ based on the standard set in your preferred locale.

You can change your locale by going into your browser language settings and selecting a language and region preference.

• Champion requests will no longer ask for items you cannot craft, typically premium blueprints for which you do not own the worker.
  
• Fixed an issue where Velites would wield the Goldmane Guard upside down.
  
• The Command Console decoration no longer accumulates snow during the winter snow event.
  
• Fixed the Ancestor Spirit filter missing from Advanced Search.
  
• Fixed push notifications not working for some events, such as Lost City of Gold.
  
• The Platinum Pair blueprint no longer requires two Tier 3 resources, the Ether cost has been removed and an Iron cost added.
  

This update is slated for release next week!


[h2]Year of the Snake Content Passss[/h2]

Curl up and pay attention, for it’s time for a new Lunar New Year content pass! This slithery pass contains some surprisingly scaly stuff, such as blueprints and customizations. Complete tasks and earn Snake Fangs to unlock them!

Players who complete every task in this content pass will receive the Venomous title, but it’s not a blank card to be toxic!

The event will run from January 21st until February 18th.

[h2]Snake Pet[/h2]
If dogs and dragons aren't your style, may we interest you in this extra lengthy companion?

This danger noodle is eager to slither around your shop, and is exclusive to the Year of the Snake content pass!

[h2]Lunar New Year Login Calendar[/h2]
For display purposes only. Not indicative of actual rewards.
It’s time for our yearly red envelopes! Login every day between January 23rd and February 11th to claim rewards!

We’ve also taken this opportunity to significantly revamp our login calendar mechanic. Not only does it look a bit nicer, it also allows for extra flexibility on the player’s part. The event will run for 20 days with 14 rewards available to claim. Only one reward can be claimed per day, but you’ll have some extra wiggle room in case you miss a day or two! Unlike previously, rewards are now claimed in order, so it is no longer possible to skip over and miss a reward by missing a single day.

[h2]Year of the Snake Giveaway[/h2]
Log in at any time during the Login Calendar to receive a free Snake Statue, as well as a skin variant depending on your platform! Nobody’s stopping you from logging in on different platforms to claim them all either. The different platforms are Android, iOS, Epic Games Store, and Steam!

[h2]Lantern Festival Giveaway[/h2]
But wait, there’s more! Login anytime between February 10th and the 14th for another giveaway! The Lantern Pond decoration! It’s pretty big!

[h2]Blitz Pass[/h2]
The Sia and Yami blitz passes are now available for new players.


[h2]Guild Member Finder[/h2]
Following the Guild Finder change a few months back, we’ve now also updated the Guild Member Finder tool. Beyond simply searching for a specific player, it will now also automatically list a few players that the game thinks could be a good match for your current guild. From there, you can send an invitation. There’s no guarantee they’ll accept, though.

• Increased the character limit for promo codes from 14 to 20.
  

[h2]Optimizations[/h2]
Another round of optimization has been done. Internal reports show reductions in RAM usage by up to 100 MB on iOS, and up to 200MB on Android and PC. Possible memory leak issues have also been resolved. We still recommend playing on devices with at least 4GB of RAM.

In other news, also optimized other inefficiencies during long play sessions, particularly those that involved trips to the city screen. Something about generating thousands of shoes.

• All Platinum items now have the Ancestor Spirit as their spirit affinity, replacing the Quetzalcoatl.
  
• The Silken Assailants blueprint now requires steel rather than ironwood.
  
• The Owl Wing Wand now has a dual affinity with Water due to its connection with Lilu.
  
• Slightly increased the value of the Platinum Wand.
  
• Platinum Wand upgrades now reduce the Platinum Bangle cost by 1.
  

[h2]Login and Session Improvements[/h2]
[h3]Improved Login Experience[/h3]
Some backend improvements have been made to the login process to make it a bit more reliable and communicate errors better. We will continue to look at improving the experience further where possible.

[h3]Simultaneous Session Retention[/h3]
Sessions (i.e. being logged in) can now be retained on up to five clients (devices, browsers, etc.), this should allow you to remain logged in on your phone and PC at the same time for purchases.

[h3]Forced Session Invalidation[/h3]
As an added security option (given the increase to up to five simultaneous sessions mentioned above), you can now force logout of all other existing sessions by using the "Sign in and sign out of all other devices" option when signing into the webstore. 

Useful for when you no longer have access to a device you previously granted a longer session retention period to and you want to invalidate it.

[h3]Remember Me[/h3]
By default, the webstore will now only remember your session for 2 hours (this doesn't apply to existing sessions). To increase this session retention period to 30 days simply enable the "Remember me for 30 days" option when signing into the webstore.


I’ll be available as a guest Champion on February 3rd until the 6th!

• Fixed the Platinum Blueprint icon showing up as Water instead.
  
• Fixed a rare Party Preset bug where some members could be considered invalid and prevent the start of a quest.
  
• Fixed the footprint of the pizza table decoration.
  
• Fixed an issue where Reinhold’s Caprices would sometimes ask for multiple premium blueprint lines at once. One at a time, please!
  
• Fixed a disconnect related to Dragon Invasion.
  
• Fixed an issue where Hero Slots unlocked through the content pass did not properly unlock Party Preset slots.
  
• Fixed an issue where the content pass icon would always show a notification as if there was a reward to claim.
  
• Updated the icon of the Ancestor Spirit to better match other Lost City of Gold spirits.
  

This update is slated for release next week.


[h2]Christmas Content Pass[/h2]

It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas! Starting on December 16th, complete festive tasks and collect Candy Canes to unlock wintery rewards! You have until the 29th!

The star of this content pass is the Santa’s Present Bag quiver, available as a bonus reward. If you can’t use quivers, there’s still a Hero slot (your next one), a Titan Soul and 3 antique blueprints for you in the premium reward track!

Players who complete every single task will be awarded the North Star title. Shine boldly above the rest!


[h2]Market Affinity[/h2]
When searching for items on the market, the Element (and Spirit) filters will now also take item affinities into account. For example, filtering for Water Swords will find the Caladbolg, as it is a sword enchanted with Water. New in this update however, it will also display the Kiku-Ichimonji (Water affinity) and Materia Blade (All affinity).

You’ll need to add the element yourself, but it should help with everyday Hero management.

• Following some confusion with the Veteran’s ability, Veteran owners opening a hero’s reroll list will always see the Epic skill segment unfolded by default.
  

• To resolve an exploit, Resource Worker visitors will now only consider your 5 highest level resource bins of that type when selling you a quantity of resources. The Dragon’s Hoard does not count against this limit.
  
• Reduced the Platinum Bangle cost of the Platinum Element by 2.
  

[h2]Updated Interface[/h2]
The webstore’s interface has been updated and is now segmented by tabs based on offer categories for quicker navigation.

You’ll find categories for common offers such as “Gems”, “Currencies” and “Champion Coins”, along with more personalized categories such as “Featured Offers” which includes Mega Packs and offers tailored to your progression (i.e. Naya offers).


It feels wonderful to be alive! Wonderful enough to risk my lovely neck in some quests? Perhaps! I shall be available as a guest Champion on December 9th until the 12th!

• Visitors interacting with the Candy Bowl now play the proper animation.
  
• Fixed a bug causing wearers of the Lone Wolf Cowl to completely skip resting time when paired with some Champions.
  
• The Jagged Duo blueprint is now a pair of blue and yellow maces as intended.
  
• Fixed Dual Wield and Quiver item type filters appearing in the crafting and fusion menus if you don’t own a blueprint for either.
  
• Fixed an instance where the Bounty Board menu could become unresponsive or freeze.
  
• Fixed an issue where the stats displayed upon using a Champion Titan Soul would be inaccurate
  
• Fixed a text issue in bounties where some localized texts would appear too big.
  
• Improved the purchase animation of dual wield weapons
  
• Fixed Zombie customers sliding out of the shop after buying a dual wield item.
  
• Roland now has a shadow. The lore implications were concerning.
  

With the renewed interest in bounties, our grab bags are seeing a matching surge in popularity. To help players rob us blind, we’re implementing an option to open multiple bags in one go. Look forward to it!

[h2]New Worker - The Veteran![/h2]

Attention, soldiers! Roland Knecht has arrived!

Hailing from many battlefields, the Veteran is now ready to settle in more peaceful pastures. He brings with him a wealth of military knowledge, including the ability to craft Dual Wield Weapons and Quivers!

But that’s not all. As a renowned drill instructor, he knows how to whip those Heroes into shape! His Premium Worker ability allows you to, once per Hero, replace a skill with any skill of your choice. The only restrictions are that it must be a skill that Hero can learn normally, and one that is not already known to the Hero. It can be any skill slot and any skill rarity.

All Heroes, new and old, can benefit from this effect once each.

Roland is available for purchase for players at level 32 or higher.

[h2]New Blueprint Type - Quivers![/h2]

In a world where ammo is infinite, can there be a market for quivers? If there is a will, there is a way. These quivers are quite the bundle and contain arrows, bolts and bullets at the same time!

Due to this, it also has a few special rules. One, it can only be equipped alongside a Gun, Crossbow or Bow. It’s not too useful otherwise! If it’s equipped alongside another weapon, it will be disabled and provide no stat bonuses.

Two, it bears a special affinity for Bows, which gain a 30% item bonus when equipped alongside a quiver. One cannot name a more iconic duo, after all.

Rest assured however that Guns, Crossbows and Bows can still function without the help of a quiver if one prefers.

[h2]New Blueprint Type - Dual Wield![/h2]

Perhaps our most unique item type yet!

From a crafting point of view, Dual wield is conventional. It is its own blueprint line, with its own Ascension Milestones and Advanced Research. Let’s take the Crystal Destroyers blueprint, for example. It is a Dual Wield blueprint featuring an Axe and a Mace. The result is a single item (Crystal Destroyers) that can be sold and equipped normally, benefitting from Dual Wield crafting upgrades, but not from Axe or Mace ones.

When it comes to Heroes though, things get more unique. No Hero class can explicitly equip Dual Wield items. So long as they can normally wield one of the weapons part of the Dual Wield, they can wield it! A Cleric for example could equip the Crystal Destroyers, even if they can’t normally use Axes.

This logic is similar for Hero skills. While no skill specifically enhances Dual Wield, other skills such as Mace Master would grant their full bonus to the Crystal Destroyers. Similarly, a Thief (with its innate bonus to Daggers) with the Sword Master skill would receive the benefit of both skills if equipped with a Sword/Dagger Dual Wield item. Do keep in mind however that a single skill (e.g Warlord) will never grant its bonus twice.


[h2]Guild Finder[/h2]
We’ve overhauled the Guild Finder algorithm to more accurately find guilds suitable for the user. We’re also currently working on improving the Member Finder, which should help guilds find members from dead guilds.

• Restored the Guild’s Choice option to the guild settings.
  
• The Scholar now shows up at level 15. Previously, she showed as soon as the player crafted a few enchantments, which could lead to some confusion.
  
• Since everyone’s doing bounties now, there’s a bit of competition on the bounty board. We’ve added 3 new guild upgrades to increase the amount of bounties available at once.
  
• With Dual Wield and Quivers, we now have a lot of blueprint lines with special rules! Deep within the blueprint details of relevant items, we’ve added a line explaining these special rules, if any. In the future, we’ll look into a more visible solution.
  
• Improved the visual clarity of contribution amounts in the guild contribution menu in events.
  

• Druidic Grimoire Ascension upgrades now reduce the quality of its Noble Ring components to Normal, rather than removing one of them.
  
• “Sell X Gold Worth of items” bounties are now a bit harder, and “Surcharge X gold worth of items” bounties are now a bit easier.
  
• Small talk bounties are now a bit easier to account for the failure chance.
  
• “Spend Resource” bounties are now a bit easier.
  
• Each bounty type normally goes on a cooldown for some time before it can resurface. This cooldown has been halved, allowing them to show up again faster.
  

[h2]Promo Code Web Redemption[/h2]

Shopkeepers alike — but especially to those who only play on iOS — with the release of the 18.0 Update it will now be possible to redeem promotional codes on the official Shop Titans website!

Head over to the Promo Code Redemption page once the update has been released and sign into Kabam Cross Connect to redeem any promo code directly from the web. Please ensure you read the information on the page for full details on the process.

[h2]Premium Worker Packages[/h2]
Premium Workers will now be available for purchase directly from the webstore, including the all-new Veteran worker, Roland!

[h2]Naya (Personalized) Offers[/h2]
Personalized offers Naya periodically brings you will also now be available for purchase from the webstore.


I will be available as a Guest Champion on November 11th until the 14th! But don’t let my presence distract you! I still need these items!

• Fixed the drum-type instruments animating weird during quests.
  
• Added the missing Air affinity on the Nightwing Shoes.
  
• Premium bounties now grant more guild coins, as they used to.
  
• Fixed instances of Cloak bounties not being set as Premium.
  
• Fixed Aurasong bounties showing up as Swords instead.
  
• Fixed the gold counter not being abbreviated in some instances.
  
• Fixed a crash involving bounties in non-English languages
  
• Last Tower of Titans was missing some of its usual rewards. They have been added to the next tower as a bonus.
  
• Fusions will no longer prioritize locked and enchanted items.
  
• Fixed an instance where customers would walk out shop for no discernible reason.
  
• Fixed item value bounties not taking into account milestone upgrades.
  
• Fixed the “Contact Us” button in Settings leading to an invalid page on PC platforms.
  

This update is slated for release next week!


[h2]Community Event! Zolea’s Halloween Spirit![/h2]
Halloween is creeping up, but as a spirit herself, Zolea finds the city’s Halloween spirit to be lacking! She requests that all shopkeepers serve trick or treaters with zeal!

For the duration of the event, the entire community must serve 75 million customers! Any sale made in the shop counts, including king sales and Champion requests! If this challenge is completed, Zolea will reward all players with the following:

• 50 Ascension Shards
  
• 50 Antique Tokens
  
• 50 Dragonmarks
  
• 5 Limited Edition!
  

But there’s more! On the third day of the event, a Secret Challenge will be revealed. Completing both challenges in time will cause Zolea to overflow with joy (and Halloween spirit). She will DOUBLE her Essence regeneration rate for an entire year! You don’t wanna miss that one!

As with last time, event progress will be shared every day through in-game mails as well as on our website. The event will run from October 21st and end on the 26th. If all challenges are completed, the Essence bonus reward will be implemented in the next update.

[h2]Halloween Neighborhood Content Pass[/h2]
Another content pass so soon? And it’s got new stuff, too! Complete tasks and gather Candies for a tummy ache and cool new exclusive rewards! On top of cool new blueprints, there’s some outstanding decorations and customizations this time around!

• The Candy Bowl decoration invites customers to take candy from its bowl. This decoration tracks how many candies were taken!
  
• The Ghostkeeper customization uses bedsheet technology to turn your shopkeeper into a very convincing apparition! Your arms are not available, but you don’t need those anyway.
  
• As the Grand Prize, there is the Ghastly Cowl rogue hat! It’s a cool Tier 14 you don’t wanna miss!
  

Ardent trick or treaters can also unlock the Candy Fiend title by completing every single task in the Content Pass.

The Halloween Neighborhood Content Pass will run from October 1st until the 29th.


[h2]Bounty Refactor[/h2]
Bounty balance has received a significant overhaul. Gone are the days of bounties asking for 9  highly specific crafts. They will now prefer asking for tiers, gold value, or simply crafts of any item or an item type rather than a specific item. In addition, bounties asking for specific item types will scale with your progress within that item type. Most other bounty types have received similar changes to make them flexible. 

Do keep in mind however that once some members of a guild start updating to the latest version, players of the same guild who have not yet updated may see their bounty board stop generating bounties. This is a necessary inconvenience while two incompatible systems coexist in the same guild, but should be resolved once all members have updated.

In addition, any bounties currently in progress will be wiped after updating.

[h2]Dual Affinity[/h2]
Some blueprints had a particular affinity for multiple elements. In these cases, their Affinity can now support up to two elements! A list of items affected by this change can be found at the bottom of these patch notes.

• Gems earned from level ups are now part of the level up screen itself, rather than a separate celebration screen.
  
• Clarified the rulings for equipment never breaking during single-round quests. Sunglasses will now appear on the party only if the quest is expected to last only one round AND that no party members are defeated. This will guarantee a break-free quest.
  

King Reinhold will be available as a guest champion on October 14th until the 17th.

• Updated the Dunes and Beachside floorings so that they mesh better together.
  
• Fixed item icons looking a bit crunchy.
  
• Fixed a few Rudo skill strings.
  
• Fixed a few Wallpapers and Floorings that refused to show up as antiques in the antique store.
  
• AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is gone but not forgotten.
  
• Fixed the Favored Quest popup becoming misaligned when switching from landscape to portrait or vice versa.
  
• Fixed some blueprints (e.g. Artifact blueprints) displaying "x1" instead of "Exclusive" on offers.
  
• Fixed some offers not displaying the tier of a blueprint.
  
• Fixed furniture not properly sorting new decorations first in some scenarios.
  
• Improved the visual clarity of the energy count on customer interaction buttons. (legends say that it's actually true this time).
